Post-season games is one of the most high intensity and pressured games I have ever played. A team either comes together as one and succeeds or falls hard and fails. Whenever you keep winning during post-season you really feel like you can't be stopped.
Winning a National Championship is something that every single player and team is striving for. It is what you work everyday towards and it is the reason we get up and have weights at 6:00 a.m. and 4 hour practices in the afternoon. Because once you win the Championship there is no other feeling like it.
You can't help but what that feeling again. We weren't expected to win my freshmen year, we were good but nobody thought we were the ultimate best. We surprised a lot of people, even ourselves at one point.
The conference tournament that year didn't go as planned, we lost 2 and we were out. Thankfully we were ranked high enough to still make it to regionals. That's where all the fun started.
We went undefeated in post-season and going undefeated in post-season is one of the hardest things you can do. When we got to the National Tournament and won the first two games we all said "well we haven't lost yet we might as well win it all."
When we got the ring we knew that this is why everyone wants to win. The ring doesn't just symbolize winning a National Championship it stands for how we all came together and finally won it all. Not many teams can say that.
